On behalf of the many (I have not asked) and myself, Thank you Mike! I will keep you in mind, but would not take you up on your offer lightly.
There are many areas these days, that are not available in a small country like N.Z. For instance.
Things like American thread form fasteners are fast disappearing from stock lines in this country. Of late. I have been looking for screws for QMC WWII tail lights and have bought a pair (2 screws)for AU $6.60 which is bloody steep. Hopefully they turn up with the right heads and hopefully stainless?
Another thing I cant seem to get here is flaps (rust bands) for a 600 or 6.50 x 16 (combat rim) Seems silly to me.
I buy BSF fasteners from the U.K. because although the odd supplier here, has some 1/4" and 3/8" bsf, nuts they cant / dont supply 5/16 bsf. ( I need them for my riveted carriers)
The world is fast changing.
On another note, I have found a company that will crimp ends onto a jeep hand brake cable. They are a marine company that makes rigging for yachts.
